Bmo owes her the money back. Disgusting that she had to get the tv involved to get them to do the right thing. What a crappy bank😡
-
BMO really sucks. How can they deny her claim?
-
wow, crazy.. I am always leery when using my credit card when travelling..
-
Of course crappy BMO service as usual.
-
when in South America use cash if not dealing with large businesses or hotels or airports. Local shops, taxis, touristic areas are prime for scamming like this one
-
It’s literal highway robbery!
-
Why is it that BMO always denies reimbursement until a third party gets involved? I think their customer service needs to be considered before anyone decides to open accounts with this bank.
-
Pretty lame on the bank's part that a national news agency has to get involved to get the client's money back. Two scammers in this story.
-
Chile off my bucket list
-
I am Chilean living in Canada and I feel ashamed, sorry😢
-
Not sure why BMO had initially denied her claim since she clearly didn't authorize the [fraudulent] charge.
-
They probably had a skimmer
-
Using Uber eliminates this concern. I visited Chile, Peru, Argentina in 2022 and had no issues getting caught in any scams.
-
These banks don't care unless you go public and make yourself look gullible
-
Traveling to South America or an unfamiliar country is better to use cash. I hate surprises
-
I'll never get scammed because my credit card is in the wifes purse! lol
-
This isn’t that complicated. You pay by cash, or you don’t take the taxi. World travelers, without any world experience…
-
Her husband must be furious.
-
BMO should have handled the dispute better. The traveler had a receipt.
-
BMO bank is a joke
